Universal's
Hard Rock Hotel Orlando*****
Hard Rock Hotel Orlando:
super-cool resort lets the good times roll
Just a short walk or water-taxi ride from Universal
theme parks and CityWalk®, this seven-story
hotel revolves around rock and roll.
Sophisticated
guestrooms in cream and black contain art from
the Hard Rock® archives and stereo systems
complete with CDs.
At the resort,
a sand-beach pool rocks with underwater music.
In the parks, the room keys rock with speedier
access to rides.
This
casually elegant, California mission–style
hotel is designed in the spirit of a flamboyant
rock star’s estate. It’s all about
music—from the rock and roll emanating from
a series of hidden speakers to the fountain of
42 bronze guitars that send water swirling skyward
in a double helix. The place is peppered with
rock memorabilia from a $31-million collection.
The pool features
a white-sand beach, a slide, underwater music,
and play fountains that spout intermittently.
Two spa pools, 10 cabanas, and a game area with
lawn checkers, beach volleyball, and shuffleboard
create a Southern California beach ambience. An
activity center offers supervised programs for
children every night. And room keys give guests
the privilege of bypassing lines at selected attractions
within Islands of Adventure® and Universal
Studios®.
Rock-and-roll
fans will want to take a close look at the memorabilia
on display, such as an outfit worn by Jimi Hendrix
circa 1968, some of Elton John’s outrageous
garb, and a bell-bottom jumpsuit that once adorned
the body of Elvis Presley. Before arriving, check
for upcoming concerts at the adjacent Hard Rock®
Live concert venue.
